Nearly 650 military vehicles are set to crowd Colorado highways as they travel from Fort Carson to the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site east of Trinidad in a training exercise taking place from May 26 – 30.

The convoy, the largest in Colorado since World War II, will consist of 300 Stryker armored vehicles, hundreds of trucks and humvees and will transport more then 4,000 soldiers, reports the Colorado Gazette.

Military planners have taken eight months to draw up the convoy’s plan and work with local authorities to ease the impact on commuters as the massive convoy rolls approximately 154 miles through the state.

The trek will consist of dozens of 15 – 30 vehicle convoys that will depart every half hour on “convoy days”.

According to the Colorado Gazette the exact route of the convoy has not yet been released due to security concerns but it is expected to run down Interstate 25 or Colorado 115.


The long drive is the first part of a simulated war called Raider Focus that the soldiers will spend weeks taking part in presumably at the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site. There are no specifics as to what Raider Focus will entail.

As reports of Raider Focus surface along with the Jade Helm Military exercise on the horizon, there is no doubt the weariness spreading across America over the recent spree of military activity will intensify.

Interestingly, billionaire investor George Soros told the World Bank this week that the planet is on the verge of a third world war that will arise out of a economic catastrophe in China.

Paul Joseph Watson of Propaganda Matrix reports:

The billionaire warned that China’s difficulty in transitioning from an export economy to a domestic demand-led system could force Beijing to whip up a conflict with an external enemy in a bid to keep the country from collapsing.

Soros said the only solution to the prospect was to allow China to join the IMF’s basket of global currencies so that it could compete with the dollar.

Without this measure, Soros warned that, “there is a real danger that China will align itself with Russia politically and militarily, and then the threat of third world war becomes real, so it is worth trying.”

Could Soros being hinting as to what all this domestic military activity is preparing for?
